Effect of Double-Hyperconjugation on the Apparent Donor Ability of Σ-Bonds: Insights from the Relative Stability of Δ-Substituted Cyclohexyl Cations Effect of Double-Hyperconjugation on the Apparent Donor Ability of σ-Bonds: Insights from the Relative Stability of δ-Substituted Cyclohexyl Cations Igor V. Alabugin* and Mariappan Manoharan Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32306-4390 [email protected] Received September 27, 2004 A combination of electronic, structural, and energetic analyses shows that a somewhat larger intrinsic donor ability of the C-H bonds compared to that of C-C bonds can be overshadowed by cooperative hyperconjugative interactions with participation of remote substituents (double hyperconjugation or through-bond interaction). The importance of double hyperconjugation was investigated computationally using two independent criteria: (a) relative total energies and geometries of two conformers (“hyperconjomers”) of δ-substituted cyclohexyl cations (b) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of electronic structure and orbital interactions in these molecules. Both criteria clearly show that the apparent donor ability of C-C bonds can vary over a wide range, and the relative order of donor ability of C-H and C-C bonds can be easily inverted depending on molecular connectivity and environment. In general, relative donor abilities of σ bonds can be changed by their through-bond communication with remote substituents and by greater polariz- ability of C-X bonds toward heavier elements. These computational results can be confirmed by experimental studies of conformational equilibrium of δ-substituted cyclohexyl cations.

  • The Conformations of Cycloalkanes
    The Conformations of Cycloalkanes Ring-containing structures are a common occurrence in organic chemistry. We must, therefore spend some time studying the special characteristics of the parent cycloalkanes. Cyclical connectivity imposes constraints on the range of motion that the atoms in rings can undergo. Cyclic molecules are thus more rigid than linear or branched alkanes because cyclic structures have fewer internal degrees of freedom (that is, the motion of one atom greatly influences the motion of the others when they are connected in a ring). In this lesson we will examine structures of the common ring structures found in organic chemistry. The first four cycloalkanes are shown below. cyclopropane cyclobutane cyclopentane cyclohexane The amount of energy stored in a strained ring is estimated by comparing the experimental heat of formation to the calculated heat of formation. The calculated heat of formation is based on the notion that, in the absence of strain, each –CH2– group contributes equally to the heat of formation, in line with the behavior found for the acyclic alkanes (i.e., open chains). Thus, the calculated heat of formation varies linearly with the number of carbon atoms in the ring. Except for the 6-membered ring, the experimental values are found to have a more positive heat of formation than the calculated value owning to ring strain. The plots of calculated and experimental enthalpies of formation and their difference (i.e., ring strain) are seen in the Figure. The 3-membered ring has about 27 kcal/mol of strain. It can be seen that the 6-membered ring possesses almost no ring strain.

However, different measures of π-electron delocalization were employed for the CC, CX, and XY bonds, and this index seems to be inappropriate for compounds containing heteroatoms. In order to describe properly various resonance effects (σ-π hyperconjugation, n-π conjugation, π-π conjugation, and aromaticity) possible for heteroatomic π-electron systems, some modifications, based on the original HOMA idea, were proposed and tested for simple DFT structures containing C, N, and O atoms. An abbreviation HOMED was used for the modified index.

McGill Chemistry Major Faculty Sponsor Introduction The number of carbon atoms bonded in the ring of a cycloalkane has a large effect on its energy. A molecule's energy has a vast impact on its stability. Determining the most stable form of a molecule is a usefol technique in the world of chemistry. One of the major factors that influ­ ence the energy (stability) of cycloalkanes is the molecule's ring strain. Ring strain is normally viewed as being directly proportional to the insta­ bility of a molecule. It is defined as a type of potential energy within the cyclic molecule, and is determined by the level of "strain" between the bonds of cycloalkanes. For example, propane has tl1e highest ring strain of all cycloalkanes. Each of propane's carbon atoms is sp3-hybridized.

  • Today's Class Will Focus on the Conformations and Energies of Cycloalkanes
    Name ______________________________________ Today's class will focus on the conformations and energies of cycloalkanes. Section 6.4 of the text provides an introduction. 1 Make a model of cyclopentane. Use the 2-piece "lockable" bond connectors — these rotate more easily than the smaller ones. You may need to twist them to "lock" so that they don't pop apart. The text shows two conformations of this ring — the envelope and the half-chair. Why is cyclopentane non-planar? The two conformations are below. In the envelope, 4 Cs are in a plane; in the half-chair 3 Cs are in a plane. Th first conformer is easy. To get your model to look like the second one, start with a planar ring, keep the "front" 3 Cs in the plane, and twist the "back" C–C bond so that one C goes above that plane and the other goes below. Add Hs to each of these structures — no wedges and dashes here — these are "perspective" drawings (like the drawings of chair cyclohexane rings on p 197). Just use your model and sketch the Hs where they appear to be. fast If we were to replace one H in each of these conformers with a methyl group, what do you think would be the most favorable position for it? Circle the one H on each structure above that you would replace with a CH3. In general, what happens to the ring C–C–C angles when a ring goes from planar to non-planar?

  • Cycloalkanes, Cycloalkenes, and Cycloalkynes
    CYCLOALKANES, CYCLOALKENES, AND CYCLOALKYNES any important hydrocarbons, known as cycloalkanes, contain rings of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds. The simple cycloalkanes of formula (CH,), make up a particularly important homologous series in which the chemical properties change in a much more dramatic way with increasing n than do those of the acyclic hydrocarbons CH,(CH,),,-,H. The cyclo- alkanes with small rings (n = 3-6) are of special interest in exhibiting chemical properties intermediate between those of alkanes and alkenes. In this chapter we will show how this behavior can be explained in terms of angle strain and steric hindrance, concepts that have been introduced previously and will be used with increasing frequency as we proceed further. We also discuss the conformations of cycloalkanes, especially cyclo- hexane, in detail because of their importance to the chemistry of many kinds of naturally occurring organic compounds. Some attention also will be paid to polycyclic compounds, substances with more than one ring, and to cyclo- alkenes and cycloalkynes. 12-1 NOMENCLATURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CYCLOALKANES The IUPAC system for naming cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes was presented in some detail in Sections 3-2 and 3-3, and you may wish to review that ma- terial before proceeding further.

Learn about the important consequences and applications of hyperconjugation. Comprehend the concept of reverse hyperconjugation. 2. Introduction In conjugation, we have studied that the electrons move from one p orbital to other which are aligned in parallel planes. Is it possible for electron to jump from p orbital to sp3 orbital that are not parallelly aligned with one another? The answer is yes. This type of conjugation is not normal, it is extra-ordinary. Hence, the name hyper-conjugation. It is also know as no-bond resonance. Let us study more about it. 3. Hyperconjugation The normal electron releasing inductive effect (+I effect) of alkyl groups is in the following order: But it was observed by Baker and Nathan that in conjugated system, the attachment of alkyl groups reverse their capability of electron releasing. They suggested that alkyl groups are capable of releasing electrons by some process other than inductive.

  • Are the Most Well Studied of All Ring Systems. They Have a Limited Number Of, Almost Strain Free, Conformations
    Chem 201/Beauchamp Topic 6, Conformations (cyclohexanes) 1 Cyclohexanes Cyclohexane rings (six atom rings in general) are the most well studied of all ring systems. They have a limited number of, almost strain free, conformations. Because of their well defined conformational shapes, they are frequently used to study effects of orientation or steric effects when studying chemical reactions. Additionally, six atom rings are the most commonly encountered rings in nature. Cyclohexane structures do not choose to be flat. Slight twists at each carbon atom allow cyclohexane rings to assume much more comfortable conformations, which we call chair conformations. (Chairs even sound comfortable.) The chair has an up and down shape all around the ring, sort of like the zig-zag shape seen in straight chains (...time for models!). C C C C C C lounge chair - used to kick back and relax while you study your organic chemistry chair conformation Cyclohexane rings are flexible and easily allow partial rotations (twists) about the C-C single bonds. There is minimal angle strain since each carbon can approximately accommodate the 109o of the tetrahedral shape. Torsional strain energy is minimized in chair conformations since all groups are staggered relative to one another. This is easily seen in a Newman projection perspective. An added new twist to our Newman projections is a side-by-side view of parallel single bonds. If you look carefully at the structure above or use your model, you should be able to see that a parallel relationship exists for all C-C bonds across the ring from one another.

This article is an open access publication Abstract The procedure of derivation of thermodynamic potential of free energy (Helmholtz free energy) for a thermo-elastic-plastic body is presented. This procedure concerns a special thermodynamic model of a thermo-elastic-plastic body with isotropic hardening characteristics. The classical thermodynamics of irre- versible processes for material characterized by macroscopic internal parameters is used in the derivation. Thermodynamic potential of free energy may be used for practical determination of the level of stored energy accumulated in material during plastic processing applied, e.g., for industry components and other machinery parts received by plastic deformation processing. In this paper the stored energy for the simple stretching of austenitic steel will be presented. Keywords Free energy · Thermo-elastic-plastic body · Enthalpy · Exergy · Stored energy of plastic deformations · Mechanical energy dissipation · Thermodynamic reference state 1 Introduction The derivation of thermodynamic potential of free energy for a model of the thermo-elastic-plastic body with the isotropic hardening is presented. The additive form of the thermodynamic potential is assumed, see, e.g., [1–4]. Such assumption causes that the influence of plastic strains on thermo-elastic properties of the bodies is not taken into account, meaning the lack of “elastic–plastic” coupling effects, see Sloderbach´ [4–10].

  • Klein 4A Alkanes+Isomerism
    Grossman, CHE 230 4a. Alkanes. Conformational Stereoisomerism. Structural Isomerism. 4a.1 Derivatives of methane. We can replace one of the H atoms in methane with another atom or group. These atoms or groups are called heteroatoms. Examples: Methyl bromide, methyl iodide, methanol, methylamine, methanethiol. Here the central C atom is not quite as perfectly tetrahedral, but for our purposes, it is close enough. If the H atom is replaced with nothing, we have three possibilities. – • We can remove just the H nucleus and leave behind two electrons -- this gives CH3 , with sp3 hybridization. It has the same structure as ammonia, just one fewer proton (and neutron) in the nucleus in the center. + • We can take away the H nucleus and both electrons. This gives us CH3 . The hybridization here? We don't want to waste valuable low-energy s orbital in a hybrid orbital in which there are no electrons. Instead, the valuable s electron is divided equally among the six electrons (three bonds) remaining. Three bonds means three orbitals, one s and two p. That means the third p orbital remains unhybridized. This situation is called sp2 hybridization. Two p orbitals occupy a plane, so in sp2 hybridization, the three hybrid orbitals are coplanar. They point 120° apart, to the corners of a triangle. The unhybridized p orbital is perpendicular to this plane. • What if we take away the H nucleus and one electron? We have a situation in which CH3· (methyl radical) is between sp2 and sp3 hybridization. It's a shallow pyramid. These species are high in energy and don't exist for long.
